WATER BOTTLES

We encourage children to bring a re-usable plastic water bottle. It may contain diluted sugar-free juice if children prefer it to plain water. Bottles may be refilled with plain water during the day and should be taken home for cleaning.

Drinking water improves memory and attention, helps children maintain a healthy weight, reduces the risk for some chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and helps prevent dental cavities if fluoridated.

Bottles of Prime, sports, energy and fizzy drinks are not permitted.

We ask that Prime/sports/energy drink bottles are not re-used as water bottles.

BREAKTIME SNACKS

• Children can bring a healthy snack for morning break. This can be a cereal bar or fruit, no crisps or chocolate/sweets please. 
• A snack bar, run by the Year 6s, is open in the hall every playtime for children in Key Stage 2 who wish to
  purchase a snack at school.
• Children in Reception and Key Stage 1 are given a free piece of fruit each day but they can also bring in their
  own healthy snack if they wish.
• Children under 5 also receive a free carton of milk.
